DAY 415 (22nd Tarsakh)(April) cont ...

I waved at Fenrir to get his attention, but I think he was realising the futility of

this endeavour himself. I kept on thinking about what that dwarf merchant had told

us about just bribing our way in.

There were troglodyte shaman mixed in with the warriors and I pointed them out.

'Hold up a big bag of gold and get his attention for Silvanus's sake!' I pleaded.

Eventually we called a cease-fire and managed to talk to one of them.

'I will hear your parley,' said the shaman.

It took an hour or so and 700 gold, but we managed to get ourselves to the main

gate. From there we paid a gate guard to take use 'where we needed to be' he said

for the sum of 100 gold. I think in some ways the trogs that we hadn't killed

admired out strength and didn't take us slaying loads of them quiet as personally

as you might think. That and they loved gold above all things.

'You knock this door, go in - goodbye!' said the guard as he left.

The door was opened by a slyth who ushered us into his dwelling, down some

dark tunnels and into grotty eating area. His name was Kronthud and his

female companion was Thulmarra.

'So, you have entered the city illegally, how can I help you?' he asked.

Fenrir started by asking how he could get to talk to the 'Priests of

Laogzed'. Kronthud told him there was little chance of them meeting

with anyone from outside the city, let alone an illegal alien. If had

arrived as a guest of honour then perhaps, but like this, not a chance.

'I can gather information for you though,' offered Kronthud.

Fenrir paid 50 gold for a 'luxury suite' and another 100 for the information.

Kronthud went off to find where the prisoners were being kept, how heavily

guarded it was and how the priests were likely to react to a break out.

The 'suite' was marvelous, for something underground anyway, a large well

lit airy chamber with a small fountain in the middle. Stone benches with

soft silk cushions were arranged around the place.

Twelve females were sent for our pleasure. *CROSSED OUT*. I of course had

nothing to do wit them my sweet.

Later Fenrir went off with a female mindflayer (!), a slyth, a red skinned

elf (I think maybe she was a Genasi) and yuan-ti pure blood. To do I know

not what.

A female slyth, a svirfneblin and two tritons tried to lure me away

*CROSSED OUT* but I resisted and was very well behaved and *CROSSED OUT*

went to my room by myself shortly afterwards.

Your loving husband, Rol
